New Faceboook Email... throwing a spanner in the works for marketers?

[Jcase]

esterday Mark Zuckerberg announced the launch of Facebook's new "email" service, I have put email in quotation marks as Zuckerberg has stressed that this is not email and I agree. It seems far more dynamic than anything out there and as a result my is verdict is as follows great for users... another headache for marketers.

Essentially it will result in a far more sophisticated junk mail filtering system which allows users to reclassify there junk mail. So in other words you will be able to create a "white list" automatically as you already have your networks in place ie friends, friends of friends.

Basically it's email, IM and texting all in one.

Let me know your thoughts..

it is strange to think of facebook as a challenger to google or microsoft

I don't like facebook, don't trust them. their concepts are great, but dislike the company behind (zuckerberg) and how they handle things.
the less power facebook has, the better!

I know, just when you think the internet has settled. Something huge comes in and shakes a few cages. I think the most amazing part of it all is just the pure speed at which things have grown.

It's like nothing I've ever witnessed.
